OUCH! Did you know that Prince William has a huge scar on his forehead a la Harry Potter? Yeah, me neither … until a new interview and photo surfaced that distinctly shows his pretty big scar which he apparently got as a child when he got beaned in the head with a golf club:
Prince William today revealed that he was left with a ‘Harry Potter scar’ after being hit around the head with a golf club when he was a boy. The Prince said the scar ‘glows sometimes’ – like that of the boy wizard – and had been caused by a friend wielding a seven iron while on a putting green. The 26-year-old also revealed an unlikely childhood dream of becoming a policeman, during an exclusive interview conducted by a 10-year-old cancer patient for CBBC’s Newsround. The aspiring Royal correspondent, named Alice, is a patient at the Royal Marsden Hospital, where Prince william is lending his support for a new cancer centre for children and teenagers. During the interview William explained how he got a scar on his head, which has been photographed looking inflamed after he plays sport. Pointing to his forehead, he told Alice: “That was for my Harry Potter scar, as I call it, just here. I call it that because it glows sometimes and some people notice it – other times they don’t notice it at all. I got hit by a golf club when I was playing golf with a friend of mine. Yeah, we were on a putting green and the next thing you know there was a seven-iron and it came out of nowhere and it hit me in the head. So, yeah, I was in hospital for that, but that was very minor compared to how many times you’ve been into hospital.” When aspiring reporter Alice quizzed him on his ambitions as a boy, he revealed he had aspired to join the constabulary – but eventually settled on Army. He said: “A long time ago I wanted to be a policeman, when I was younger. I soon learnt that probably wasn’t a good idea. At the moment I’m still doing some sort of helicopter flying, doing search and rescue. It’s going very well. My instructors would probably say, ‘Not so well’, but I think it’s going not too badly. I haven’t managed to dent any of the aircraft, I haven’t flown into any trees yet, so, it’s going okay.” During his the interview, conducted at Clarence House, William said he was following in his mother’s footsteps by lending support to the Royal Marsden Hospital … The Prince was also clear on who would win an arm wrestle between himself and Prince Harry. “You know the answer to that. It’s not even a contest. Obviously I’d win. Obviously. As the bigger brother you have that psychological power over your brother, you see,” he told Alice. Revealing what he would do if he were invisible for a day, he said: “I’d probably get myself in a lot of trouble. I’d probably go into the newspaper office, and I’d hide in the background and listen to all the stories they talk about me.”
See, you do learn something new every day. I cannot believe that I’ve never seen this huge scar on Wills’s head before. I really love that he did this interview with young Miss Alice. What a thrill to be able to interview the prince. Concerning his comments about who would win in an arm wrestling match, I say we put the two princes to the test … have them strip down to the waist and arm wrestle. That way, we’d know for sure :)
